by E-Mail

The purpose of the List is to allow Barter Hours members to offer and make trades in real time, simply by sending one e-mail to the List (which will then distribute your e-mail to every Barter Hours member who has signed up for the list).

If you're a Barter Hours member, you should already have gotten an e-mail inviting you to join the List. If you haven't gotten an e-mail invitation, or if you're signed up but having problems, please let me (Jack) know by e-mailing me here, and I'll resend your invitation (some of our e-mail addresses are old).

We hope to 'see' you on the List soon! (If you're already signed up, you can post an e-mail to the list here).

Adopt a Legislator!

Here's a short, interesting and useful article called 'Adopt a Legislator' (PDF) that gives excellent tips on how to form a more personal relationship with your legislator(s) that will allow you to have greater input into state and local affairs. A fun article courtesy of Bernalillo County's chapter of Local Collaborative, Inc.

Local Food Matters

Local Foods Brochure

Local Food Matters is also preparing a brochure listing all local food producers and growers (including veggies, fruits, eggs, dairy, poultry and meat). What a great resource this will be! If you know a grower who is not yet connected with Local Food Matters and would like to be included in the brochure, please contact Elizabeth Ratzlaff at 454-9242 or Julie Olague at 421-8936. We'll all benefit from pitching in on this one.
